Hope he recovers well also I hear that pancreatic cancer is not as dangerous as others. I heard on the news that he won’t have to go through chemotherapy or anything, so that’s good!
[size=1]EDIT: See below post by unflux. Lucky for Steve Jobs that he has a rare form, that I guess now, is not as dangerous as the regular form.[/size]
pancreatic cancer is VERY dangerous. Although he has a “rare form” so maybe that’s why they say he has a good chance of surviving. My father-in-law died of pancreatic cancer. He never recovered from his initial surgery, 2years later he passed. Like any form of cancer, once it reaches the lymph system, that’s all she wrote.
It’s quite possible that this is what the press is referring to is where the cancer is on the pancreas, which makes it less likely to spread. However, I have to say that all the doctors I talked to about pancreatic cancer (4) have a less favorable outlook on survival unfortunately.
of course I wish steve jobs well, and hope he recovers. I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone…personally I despise the disease.
